Missouri River News, February 2017

Fighting for clean water and healthy wetlands has been a part of the Izaak Walton League mission since day one. Since 2001, that fight has focused on restoring Clean Water Act protections to streams and wetlands in our communities.

The Missouri River Recovery Implementation Committee (MRRIC) met in Kansas City from January 31 to February 2. The committee discussed the new Missouri River Recovery Management Plan Draft Environmental Impact Statement (MRRMP-DEIS).

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers responded to numerous requests, including from the League, to extend the public comment period for the Missouri River Recovery Management Plan Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
